Good and upright is the Lord;
\ntherefore he instructs sinners in His ways.
\nHe guides the humble in what is right
\nand teaches them His way.
\nPsalms 25:8-9<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

No one is perfect. \u00a0No one is without sin. \u00a0If we were, we certainly would not be in this world. \u00a0We would be in the glory of God at this very minute. \u00a0However, we fall short\u2014way short. \u00a0We needed Someone to teach us how we should act and worship in order to reach God\u2019s glory.<\/p>\n

Without Someone\u2019s perfect ways and blood, we could not ever hope to reach God\u2019s glory in the end. \u00a0We would be looking forward to an eternity of doom. \u00a0God instructs us to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior so that we may be reunited with Him in the end and be able to spend eternity in Heaven.<\/p>\n

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;
\nteaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
\nsinging with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
\nColossians 3:16<\/p>\n

Jesus becomes our Guide and Teacher once we enter into a relationship with Him. \u00a0The relationship works to help teach yourself and others how God expects us to live. \u00a0We live in the Word to keep ourselves from falling in line with the world and with Satan. We become wiser the longer we stay in the Word of God and immerse ourselves in our relationship with Christ. \u00a0When we become wiser through God, we can help others become closer to God. \u00a0By allowing God to be our Teacher, we gain the wisdom to be able to discern what is right and wrong. We become humbled and are able to teach others about God.<\/p>\n

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for being our Father and Teacher. \u00a0With Your teachings we can walk the right paths and look forward to the glory of God in eternity. \u00a0Thank You for giving us the wisdom needed to teach others and be able to discern right from wrong. \u00a0In Jesus\u2019 name, Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
